- the liquid connector 104 may comprise a gravity-fed spray gun paint reservoir connector, an example of which is shown in FIGS. 2- 5.
- a coating liquid flow path 110 through which the coating liquid flows from the liquid spray gun coating liquid connector 104 to a liquid nozzle 108 (see, e.g., FIG. 26).
- the coating liquid passes from the coating liquid inlet portion 102, along the coating liquid flow path 110, along a spray axis 101 parallel to a liquid needle 9', and ultimately is expelled from the liquid nozzle 108 upon depressing the trigger 5.
- the liquid needle 9' typically occludes the liquid nozzle 108.
- the liquid needle is sealed by one or more liquid needle sealing elements 111 towards the rearward end of the coating liquid flow path 110 (as seen, for example, in FIG.
- liquid needle 109 is not shown as the exemplary liquid spray gun nozzle assembly 100 is shown in a detached state.
- the trigger 5 When the trigger 5 is depressed, the liquid needle 9' is withdrawn from the liquid nozzle 108, thereby allowing the coating liquid to pass through.
- depressing the trigger activates the pressurized air supply to assist in (depending on the gun type) urging coating liquid through and/or from the liquid nozzle 108, atomizing the coating liquid, or shaping the coating liquid (e.g., via the air cap 115, described below).
- the travel of liquid needle 9' and the total air flow through the gun is adjusted via the liquid needle adjustment control 9.
- the relative volume of airflow among the air cap 115 (for shaping purposes) and a center air outlet 107 (for atomization purposes) is controlled via an air adjustment control 8.

- the air cap 115 can direct pressurized air advantageously toward the stream of coating liquid, e.g., via one or more shaping air outlets 116 located in one or more air horns 117, as it is expelled from the liquid nozzle 108 to assist in atomization of the coating liquid and shaping of the coating liquid jet into the desired spray pattern for a given application.
- the center air outlet 107 directs air around the liquid outlet 108 to draw the coating liquid from the liquid nozzle 108 and (if desired) also impinges upon the coating liquid to atomize it, creating a fine mist of droplets.
- one or more auxiliary air outlets 118 may be provided in the air cap 115 to further assist in shaping the spray pattern.
- Portions of the air cap 115, the center air outlet 107, the liquid nozzle 108, the air horns 117, the auxiliary air outlets 118, and the shaping air outlets 116 may be configured as described in U.S. Pat. Pub. Nos. 2016/0052003 Al ("Liquid Spray gun, spray gun platform, and spray head assembly"); 2013/0327850 Al ("Nozzle tips and spray head assemblies for liquid spray guns”);

- the coating liquid is contained entirely within the liquid spray gun nozzle assembly 100, thus generally avoiding the need to clean the liquid spray gun body 3 after use.
- the external liquid source 6' may be a container that is directly affixed to the liquid spray gun nozzle assembly 100 (see, e.g., FIG. 2), or may comprise a remote reservoir that is connected to the liquid spray gun nozzle assembly 100 by way of a hose.
- the external liquid source is remotely pressurized (via a pressurized canister, a remote pump, or the like) to force the coating liquid into the liquid spray gun nozzle assembly 100.
- the coating liquid may be forced or pulled into the liquid spray gun nozzle assembly 100 under the force of gravity (again, see FIG. 2), by way of a negative pressure induced by a venturi at the liquid nozzle 108, by a local pump, or through a combination of the above. Because the external liquid source can vary as described, it is shown in schematic form in FIGS. 1 and 3.
- the nozzle assembly connection portion 200 facilitates the attachment of the paint spray gun nozzle assembly 100 to the paint spray gun body 3 by way of a locking ring 210 as described in U.S. provisional patent application number 62/430,383 (3M Docket No. 77384US002), entitled “Spray Gun and Nozzle Assembly Attachment,” filed December 6, 2016, the disclosure of which is herein incorporated by reference in its entirety.
- the connection between the paint spray gun nozzle assembly 100 and the paint spray gun body 3 may be carried out by other means, such as, for example, a threaded collar, by one or more lever elements 130 as described, for example, in U.S. patent 8,590,809 B2 to Escoto, Jr.
- the paint spray gun nozzle assembly 100 is integral with (or at least not readily removable from) the spray gun body.
- a liquid needle 9' is affixed to the liquid spray gun body 3, such that cleaning of the liquid spray gun body 3 is generally limited to wiping or otherwise clearing the tip of the liquid needle after detaching the liquid spray gun nozzle assembly 100.
- the liquid needle may be housed in the liquid spray gun nozzle assembly 100 such that it is removable from the liquid spray gun body 3 along with the liquid spray gun nozzle assembly 100.
- the liquid spray gun nozzle assembly 100 if disposable, may be discarded after use such that no further cleanup is required.
- the liquid spray gun nozzle assembly 100 if reusable, is the only portion of the liquid spray gun 2 left to clean. Both configurations can result in reduced cleanup time and materials, such as solvents, compared to what is typically required in a conventional spray gun.
- the exemplary nozzle assembly connection portion 200 facilitates the attachment of the liquid spray gun nozzle assembly 100 to the liquid spray gun body 3 by way of a captured, rotatable locking ring 210, as seen in FIGS. 1-8.
- FIG. 8 shows the nozzle assembly connection portion 200 as viewed along the spray axis 101.
- a corresponding view of the spray gun connection portion 120 of a liquid spray gun nozzle assembly 100 is shown in FIG. 24.
- the spray gun nozzle assembly 100 may comprise an air cap 115.
- the air cap 115 may be retained to a nozzle body 100' of the spray gun nozzle assembly 100 by the air cap retention system 300.
- the air cap 115 may be rotatably retained thereon such that the air cap may be rotated to a first fan position and a second fan position, with each fan position allowing for a different spray pattern to be realized.
- the air cap 1 15 is both removably retained and rotatably retained on the nozzle body 100' .
- the air cap 115 is shown apart from the nozzle body 100', exploded along the spray axis 101.
- the air cap comprises a forward end 115a, a retention end 115b, a sidewall 115c, and an endwall 115d located at the retention end.
- the spray axis 101 passes through the forward end 115a and the retention end 115b.
- the air cap comprises one or more reception features 310
- the nozzle body comprises one or more corresponding nozzle body retainer features 410.
- the reception feature(s) 310 may be positioned proximate the retention end 115b of the air cap 115, which is the end that faces the nozzle body when the air cap 115 is installed.
- a reception feature 310 may comprise a retainer window 312 through which a nozzle body retainer feature 410 may pass upon installation of the air cap 115 onto the nozzle body 100'.
- the air cap 115 is positioned as shown in FIG. 11 and is translated along the spray axis 101 and rotationally positioned so as to align the one or more reception features 310 with the corresponding nozzle body retainer features 410.
- the nozzle body retainer feature(s) pass through the retainer window(s) 312. Once thus positioned (see, e.g., FIG.
- the nozzle body retainer feature(s) have access to an air cap rotation guide 320 that permits the air cap 115 to rotate about the spray axis while being securely retained on the nozzle body 100' (see, e.g., FIG. 13).
- the air cap rotation guide 320 and the nozzle body retainer feature(s) 410 cooperate to prevent axial detachment of the air cap 115 from the nozzle body 100' .
- the nozzle body retainer feature(s) 410 comprise protrusions from the outer wall 124 of the nozzle body 100' (see, e.g., FIGS. 14- 17), while the retainer window(s) 312 and air cap rotation guide 320 comprise openings or recesses within the material of the air cap 115 (see, e.g., FIGS. 18-23).
- these features could be either swapped to the opposite part (e.g., a rotation guide may be instead or additionally placed on the nozzle body 100'), or be provided as a different combination of protrusions and recesses, so long as the functions and benefits described herein are realized.
- the air cap rotation guide(s) 320 comprise first and second end stops 322, 324 to allow the user to position the air cap in preset rotational positions, as shown in FIG. 18.
- a nozzle body retainer feature 410 will contact a first end stop 322 when the air horns 117 are positioned horizontally on either side of the liquid nozzle, such that a vertical spray pattern can be obtained.
- the air cap may be rotated 90 degrees in the clockwise direction until a nozzle body retainer feature 410 contacts a second end stop 324, such that the air horns 117 are positioned vertically above and below the liquid nozzle, so that a horizontal spray pattern can be obtained.
- the retainer window(s) 312 is located in an intermediate rotational position with respect to these preset positions.
- the retainer windows(s) 312 are located in a central rotational portion of the air cap rotation guide 320.
- the retainer window(s) 312 may be positioned along the air cap rotation guide 320 such that the air cap 115 may be installed and/or removed at a rotational position of 45 degrees.
- this angle need not be precisely 45 degrees, but may be chosen to be any angle that permits secure retention at desired preset rotational position(s) while allowing installation/removal at another position.
- the rotational position of the retainer window may be chosen in a range from 30 degrees to 60 degrees from either the first or second end stop.
- the position of the retainer window 312 may in some embodiments be chosen to correspond with the location of the first or second end stop (i.e., positioned at an angle of 0 degrees from an end stop).
- the air cap 115 may be removed for cleaning and/or replaced, if desired, by aligning the retainer window(s) 312 with the nozzle body retainer feature(s) 410 and pulling along the spray axis 101 to separate the air cap 115 from the nozzle body 100'. In this manner, the air cap 115 is rotated to a position where a rearward-oriented face 410' of the nozzle body retainer feature 410 will not bear against a retention wall 321, and can thus be detached axially along the spray axis 101.
- the user is provided with different air caps 115 for a given nozzle body 100' and may wish to swap them depending on the desired application.
- one air cap may comprise a different air horn geometry and/or different shaping air outlets, or may not contain any air horns at all (such as where no pattern shaping is needed).
- the present disclosure allows for such swapping without the need for loose auxiliary parts (e.g., the typically-provided threaded ring) that might otherwise be lost or damaged.
- the air cap 115 and/or the nozzle body 100' further or alternatively comprise one or more cooperating retention channels 420 and retention ribs 340.
- Such cooperating features may provide enhanced resistance against axial separation of the air cap 115 from the nozzle body 100' .
- An exemplary retention channel 420 may be seen in isolation in FIGS. 14, 16, and 17.
- An exemplary retention rib 340 may be seen in isolation in FIG. 23.
- the features may be seen in cooperation in FIGS. 26 and 26A.
- a retention channel 420 may be positioned aft of an air cap sealing feature 430 (described below), defining the liquid nozzle 108 as the forward-facing end of the spray gun.
- a retention channel 420 may be positioned forward of an air cap sealing feature 430.
- the retention channel 420 need not comprise a two-sided channel as shown, but may comprise a one-sided step down in diameter into which a retention rib 340 may seat.
- cooperating retention channels 420 and retention ribs 340 may further provide tracking to assist with smooth, guided rotation of the air cap 115 with respect to the nozzle body 100' .
- a retention channel 420 may alternatively or additionally be provided on the air cap 115 and a cooperating retention rib 340 on the nozzle body 100' .
- a cooperating pair of a retention channel 420 and a retention rib 340 can act to provide a positive snap-fit of the air cap 115 onto the nozzle body 100' .
- Such snapping is realized by way of deformation and relaxation of the air cap 115 as it is pressed into place onto the nozzle body 100' .
- the retention rib 340 must deform outwardly to clear an outer wall of the nozzle body 100' (in this case the primary air cap sealing feature 430), and after so clearing will relax to become seated within the retention channel 420. If this relaxation is rapid, a snapping effect can be achieved.
- the snapping effect may be an effect that is felt by the user, but may also be audible if desired.
- the air cap 115 and/or the nozzle body 100' comprise a primary air cap sealing feature 430.
- the primary air cap sealing feature 430 comprises a ring-shaped member on the nozzle body 100'.
- the primary air cap sealing feature 430 presses against an air cap sealing surface 119 (which, as shown in the illustrated embodiments, comprises an inner wall of the air cap 115) with sufficient force and continuity to create a seal against compressed air, such seal being sufficient to essentially prevent compressed air from escaping the air cap around its rear perimeter under normal operating conditions.
- the primary air cap sealing feature 430 is comprised of the same material as the remainder of the nozzle body 100' (or another relatively non-resilient material), and provides a seal by virtue of simple cooperation with the air cap sealing surface 119.
- the air cap 115 may comprise a thin enough wall and/or a soft enough material as to slightly deform outwardly due to the force applied by the air cap sealing feature. In such cases, the fit between the air cap 115 and the nozzle body 100' may be described as an interference fit.
- a secondary air cap sealing feature 440 is further provided (see, e.g., FIGS. 26 and 26A). While the primary air cap sealing feature provides a seal isolating the region inside the air cap from a surrounding atmosphere, the secondary air cap sealing feature provides a seal that is internal to the air cap and separates the internal region into more than one zone.
- a shaping air zone 442 is isolated between the primary and secondary air cap sealing features, while a center air zone 444 is isolated within the secondary air cap sealing feature 440.
- the secondary air cap sealing feature 440 comprises cooperating surfaces that create an interference fit to prevent air leakage, for example via material deformation as described in the preceding paragraph.
- sealing materials e.g., elastomers
- members e.g., o-rings, gaskets, etc.
- interaction between the primary air cap sealing feature 430 and the air cap sealing surface 119 further provides a degree of resistance against rotation of the air cap 115 relative to the nozzle body 100' .
- such resistance should be sufficient to prevent the air cap 115 from rotating on its own (e.g., in response to vibration, movement of the spray gun in use, or minor impacts), but permit the air cap 115 to be selectively rotationally positioned by hand about the spray axis 101 such that the desired spray pattern can be obtained by the user.
- the user may wish (even during spraying) to quickly rotate the air cap 115 to change the pattern from vertical to horizontal (or some angle therebetween) in order to facilitate holding the spray gun in differing orientations and/or spraying differently situated and/or shaped surfaces.
- the user may advantageously rapidly alter the orientation of the spray pattern without the need to first loosen any parts, without the use of tools, and without breaking or compromising the seal between the air cap 115 and the nozzle body 100' in the process.
- the one or more reception features 310 may further act as gripping features to facilitate the user's rotation of the air cap 115 to the desired rotational position, and also to assist with installation and/or removal of the air cap 115 from the nozzle body 100' .
- the air cap 115 may be provided as a disposable part, if desired, thereby minimizing replacement cost.
- the air cap 115 can be constructed of a resilient material (such as an injection molded polymer) not only to reduce cost but also to provide the necessary resilience needed to perform the sealing and rotational resistance functions as described herein (i.e., permitting the air cap sealing surface 119 to deform slightly to seal against the air cap sealing feature 430 and/or a retention rib 340 to seat into a cooperating retention channel 420.
